Abstract
Time-resolved optical measurements of electron spin dynamics in modulation doped InGaAs quantum wells are used to explore electron spin coherence times and spin precession frequencies in a regime where an out of plane magnetic field quantizes the states of a two-dimensional electron gas into Landau levels. Oscillatory features in the transverse spin coherence time and effective g-factor as a function of applied magnetic field exhibit a correspondence with Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, illustrating a coupling between spin and orbital eigenstates. We present a theoretical model in which inhomogeneous dephasing due to the population of different Landau levels limits the spin coherence time and captures the essential experimental results.
